Actually I dropped into Welshpool today for a coffee, since I was passing through. It was only about 4pm, and though it was very windy, it really wasn't a bad flying day; I'd been flying earlier and it was OK. But the place appeared deserted and at first I thought no-one was there. Then I found an engineer and an instructor in a hangar I'd thought was locked. They said everyone had gone home early because the weather was so bad. But the instructor opened up and made me a coffee, and also took money from someone who landed, who seemed mildly confused that there had been no-one on the radio in quite flyable weather. All very strange for a Saturday. <img src="confused.gif" border="0"> <img src="confused.gif" border="0"> <img src="confused.gif" border="0">
